- ⅛ tsp black pepper, ground ground
- ½ tsp ginger root
- 1 cup coconut milk canned
- 1 tbsp raw honey

- Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, until very hot but not boiling.

- Pour it into the glass and it's ready to serve!
Notes
- Milk options: You can use any plant-based milk for this recipe—almond, oat, coconut, or soy all work well. For a creamier texture, choose full-fat coconut milk.
- Sweetener swaps: Maple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave, or a few drops of stevia to suit your taste or dietary needs.
- Fresh vs. ground spices: Ground turmeric is convenient, but fresh turmeric root (grated) offers a bolder, earthier flavor. If using fresh, start with about 1 teaspoon.
- Black pepper boost: Don’t skip the black pepper—it enhances the absorption of curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) for greater health benefits.
- Make-ahead tip: You can mix the dry spices in bulk and store them in an airtight jar for up to a month to make quick non-dairy drinks anytime.
